Description
MicroBrute is a pure analog sonic powerhouse of a synth. Small in size but loaded with features. Packed with mixable waveforms, a new sub-oscillator design, the famous Steiner-Parker multimode filter, a super-fast envelope, a syncable LFO, the new step sequencer and a patchable mod matrix, the MicroBrute is a landmark new synth that carries the award-winning heritage of its big brother, the MiniBrute. If you’re new to synths, you’re looking at one of the easiest to use and most unique-sounding synthesizers. And if you’re a synth veteran, we think it won’t have escaped your attention that MicroBrute is also a seriously capable semi-modular sequence-able beast. Wait till you hear how it sounds.
